#GrubbyTalks #Thoughts #Tierlist #Undead #Units - Zábava
Oh yeah, the tier list of a game I haven't played in 15 years and I will probably never play again - LET'S GO!
uga buga hierarchy I like
Orc Peon: WHY NOT!?
This video actually convinced me that I need to get into Warcraft 3 again.
I recommend playing again! Widescreen support, balance updates, new camera zoom options - feels like a totally revitalized game in my opinion!
Nostalgia is a hell of a drug
The real tier list we need is creep tier list.
yes!
the real tier list are the tiers we made along the way
* Hits joints * bruh that sounds fire af
Better yet, a critter tier list
Mechanic sheep is S tier, crabs are B tier. Everything else is D.
I like how he is explaining all the changes on units for us who do not keep up.
At your service!
@@GrubbyTalkswork work
Frost wyrm is F tier but in terms of cool factor it's SSS
This unit was the reason i Got into warcraft in the 1st place
Such a cool design for a dragon
When i was a kid i was kinda scared of some undead units, the worst was acolyte , to me he looked like some sinister satanist wearing a pyjammas
Why you are afraid of satanist more than monsters?
@@zhuzhong74 way more relatable and much easily encounter in real life, also they not showing everything (the hood only reveal some part of the face). That some effective horror elements: believable, sinister in the sense of mystery, also relegious.
@@thanhnam8394 exactly! and in the campaign they are rampant throughout the human city, all of your friends turning on you and becoming satanist trying to summon an evil is pretty scary imo.
@@malfriction yeah but actual satanist aren't like that.
I actually loved the undead because of their creepiness. The fact that they were the anti life and destroyed everything was sth that my childish brain found amazing. It's still my favourite race after 15 years.
I played undead main back in 2003/2004. I can vividly remember a (small) tournament game where I won with necro + meat wagons. Good to see not too much has changed in *looks at the calendar*... dear god.
don't look
We are 21 years older than
that was my strat too. id also have a few extra crypts and 2 necros for home defence. a few extra zigs. set home necros to not auto cast but when your town is hit you spam them from the crypt and over welm most people with crunchys.
I know it's random but I love how Grubby appeased chat by putting Wyrm into S for a moment and then puts it back into D. He's like a big bro to us lol.
34:00 - one overlooked aspect of necromancers is the fact that combined with graveyards, they make for very effective anti-tank-laming defenses.
As tanks are clunky, and graveyards are fairly cheap blocker buildings that just so happen to spawn corpses that can be turned into skeletons to further clog up the base.
i never thought about spending excess gold to make corpse generating building blockers. not a bad idea
I often thought on this: situations in which the trickle of bodies could actually be useful in base defense, perhaps with nerubian towers and crypt fiends on hand? Seems legitimate.
Frost Wurms really do need the Mountain Giant's Resistant Skin, but sadly they have no skin so it will never happen.
Haha, good point. Resistant bones ? Vitamin D ?
They have patchy skin, otherwise, how else can they fly?
@@Winnetou17 Calcium Deposit
Normal dragons have heavy armor. Wyrm could also have it.
Since you’ve included one of my favorite undead units, the Acolyte, have a hilarious joke:
„Why do Acolytes exclusively go to the beach on their vacations?
Because they said 'I wish only to surf'!“
When tierlisting content is through, I want a tierlist of tierlists based of:
1. easiest to hardest to make
2. least effort to highest effort to make
3. least to most fun to make
Ok so in a year I rank all my tier lists got it
In warcraft 3 everything is easy to make. The hardest ones are going to be units from tier 3 only buildings: taurens, chimeras and frost wyrms.
@@lagg1e He meant the hardest tierlist to make, not the hardest unit to make. I think.
@@GrubbyTalks !remind me 360 days
Long time undead player and fan, I agree with your tier list almost 100% but I would put skeletons in A tier because of rod of necromancy being so useful as an early game tool to improve tempo and creep / scout
That's true though it's more of an item right? This is only unit production through buildings. Someone also pointed that same thing out, post-making this video haha
43:46 Not bad, after all you had 20+ years to practice this line.
The tierlist arc is the greatest thing to happen to wc3
Abomination's and Meat Wagons don't affect games by virtue of being built, but by virtue of possibility of them being built.
Also just build a boneyard with no wyrms to drive your opponent insane
@@AnonYmous-spyonmeplsI do this consistently lol. Free win every time they take the bait and build to counter first wyrms that will never come
Abominations just suck. The weakest T3 melee unit in the game, and the most clunky.
@@spectre9065isn't that really most of Undead things? Undead aren't exactly known for having best in class units in any category.
Would be a short video, but a tier list of all auras would be interesting.
Good idea. In general all auras are great, except may be the Thorns or the Vampiric auras.
@@Igorsov Vampiric at least has some use case with frenzy ghouls. Not common, but kinda ok with specific army compositions. Trueshot aura is arguably the reverse, except nelf have good ranged units tier 1.
But all of them were discussed in heroes tierlist
@@FiWe_Que Were auras tier listed?🤦♂️ Hero tier and Aura tier are two different things…
Brilliance number one no question. The small nerf is not enough. Non stop mana for casters and much more for heroes.
damn Grubby gotta say i dig the new content
I've already said this but im such a fan of how clean and seamless your talking is, you certainly make your editor's life easy! would love to watch a video about your off game life habits you have, I wish my mind or thoughts were half as clear!
Infernal is such a bad unit. If I had to choose between having 15 ghouls or 15 infernals in the early game? I would take 15 ghouls. I think you should make a new F tier for the infernals, Grubby. Their counter is so easy.
How to counter infernals:
1. Get 2 or 3 workers.
2. Have the workers gather water in buckets.
3. Throw the buckets of water at the infernal and the infernal's flames will go out. (Infernals don't work without their fire.)
Easy.
Not to mention that if you have 4 infernals surrounding you (cannot fit more than 4, they're so fat) do you get 4 times the immolation damage ? Nope. Absolute trash. Can't even set a tree on fire.
LOVE this high quality Warcraft content, takes me back to my childhood
I did not expect wyrms to be the lowest, but ofc you make so many good points so i have to agree.
Nice content!
Thank you for doing this! I love this video series
Hell yeah grubby! Thanks for improving my gameplay through your tier lists and matches
As someone who’s randomly gotten into wc3 in the last month, this is exactly what I needed
Ever lost a match, said gg, and waited 5 seconds - as the other guy leaves early by mistake? Thus getting a free win.
(Yes, has happened to me)
Happens when the other player wants to keep their MMR low in order to match against weaker players, usually a smurf account.
I have a friend (playing NE) that was losing, used an ancient to eat some trees and hide his last building and told the opponent the game must have bugged because he had no more buildings. The opponent left and he won
I've had a person try that nonsense on me. Weirdly being chatty.
Caught his ass teching back up in a corner while seemingly giving up and he left immediately
I gotta say, I just love your style of humor. I've been seeing your videos for some time (since reforged launch), but just now got convinced to subscribe. You're entertaining as hell with the mix of deep information + increasingly verbose jokes.
Thank u man, much love
Shade is like protoss observer. It has similar properties, and it is made from a worker, but protoss observer in fact is a probe that flies.
I love these tier lists so much. I have to drive a lot for work, and I've really been enjoying the content on the new channel.
Amazing content. I love filling my brain with information I would have used 8 years ago, and never again!
Awesome❤ I'm glad you're doing this I can learn so much
Your W3 Tier Lists are amazing! Cnat miss one! Good job man.
Love these tier lists Grubby. I used to play 15 years ago was a complete noob. I just spam the highest cost units and a-move to the enemy base (AI only, not good enough to play on ladder).
I just love hearing Grubby talking about Warcraft 3.
This is super interesting, please more tierlists Grubby
Hell yeah! Tier list meta! I love this content. It's just such a great platform for sharing knowledge.
I started and finished this videogame for the first time this year, and although I probably won't play PvP because my goal is not to perfect my gameplay but to play as many and varied games as possible, I like to watch your videos to see the correct operation of units and heroes since the campaign, although it is not exactly accessible, often does not demand that you know and manage all the peculiarities and skills in order to be completed.
For example, I never really understood how useful (or useless) it can be to collect corpses with those catapults.
I remember ensnare and web would also pull air units above trees at the edge of the forest. Very useful niche relocation tools.
dudeee i have been watching you, t0d, and moon since i was a kid. glad you are still in the scene!
Never played WC3 competitively but I love a good tier list. Hope you will make ones for the other races too!
One thing about Banshee's possession, it also gives you any research related to the unit you capture. (Assuming this hasn't been patched out since I've played)
So if you were playing another Undead player who had completed more research for weapons and armor, or unit specific research like disease cloud, possessing a unit would instantly grant you all that research.
No, not weapons and armor. Only unique unit upgrades (range, sight, unique dmg, unique modifiers, etc.)
I dont play the game, and I dont necessarily will take this tier list like a bible of sorts but what I like about these types of videos are the explanations as to why they belong in the category you put it in.
Really cool to learn stuff like hex not giving exp in the other video.
Skeletal Mage should be changed to Skeletal Archer, imo. Fits the theme better and they're already do piercing damage and not magic.
Extremely nostalgic content. I remember 15 years ago my bnet 1on1 training companions and me would make tier lists and discuss worst/best units all the time. Anyway, nice content Grubby.
Really loving these tier lists - grub it up:)!
I think that Heroes tier list from a couple of days ago really pushed Grubby's channel in a huge way. Hope this keeps going on!
I think it’s great that you are officially rebranding as a tier list channel 🥳
GrubbyTierlist rebrand name coming soon
Even though I dont play WC 3 melee professionally and only play the custom maps, I love these tier lists! So much extra information about units!
Grubby I've followed you since 4k, but to see you do Tier lists...is really different (but good) content. I thoroughly enjoy it, I think mainly because it gives a very succinct breakdown as to what you feel is good or not, rather than having to watch hours/days of replays to get nuggets of insight.
I really appreciate how many videos grubby throws up, it’s just a constant stream of wc3 which is great
Good concept grubby
I disagree. Abomination should be at least A tier, just look how cute they are 😊
even tho i dont play the game anymore, im still interested in grubby's opinion and it's always so interesting, make more tier lists please! awesome videos
I like that you've added hegemony to your lexicon after hearing it in dune spice wars :D
13:22 gahahah that orc voice was spot on
Well explained
Of course i agree with You ❤
fun fact about shades.
the first time i won the final undead campaign where the lich summons archimonde by surviving for 30 min,
i did by making a shade wall to prevent the 3 ground human armies from passing by the gates xD
back in the time ive never heard about cheating codes xD
I like how one strat (necro wagon disease cloud) has all its units in tier C. Noobs like the tier C strats (i include myself in that since they are all my favorite units)
Great tier list Grubby. I don't know if you have done this yet, but maybe a tier list of mercenary units could be another video idea?
I used to play this game when it came out as a 13 year old. 21 years later and I'm still enjoying it, although just from watching you, Grubby! Loving this ranking series too. Neutral item ranking perhaps?
More tier lists please! Luv your expert opinion on both w3 and sc2
Thanks for the tier lists, waiting for the Night Elf tier list
Grubbby you da man, love the tier lists
13:22 great imitations, thx for the laughs :D
The infernal is such a KOOL unit. I remember choosing a warlock to play in WoW just because of the infernal in the trailer.
Chaos damage, heck yeah, amazing. Just arriving is a stun, really cool. Magic immune. Lasts pretty much forever. Can attack trees- Imagine that. And last but not least- It's better than a demon hunter, because the immolation lasts the whole 180 potential seconds it's alive.
I love these even though i don t play do as many as you can so i have stuff to watch at night
I put shade as B Because Death Knight can use him for self heal for repeating Ambush
The amount of detail and anecdotes is insane 😝👍
i started playing undead as main race in 1v1 and so on because the infernal looks so cool. sadly i almost never played dreadlord
These videos are absolute BANGERS.
5:00 I used to always go Chimera Gryphon riders as night elf back in 2003 so that probably makes sense why I guessed about where abomination would go even though I haven't played this game competitively for like 20 years lol
And for Frostwyrms I personally have always seen them as like a flying catapult/base breaker/building sniper unit. I would back them up with Gargoyles and just fly behind bases and snipe specific buildings. But if games don't last as long anymore I could for sure that being a really bad strat now.
i dont really know anything about melee games considering when i played frozen throne growing up i only played custom games, but these are cool and im watching them!
I think it's very brave in this day in age to say you'd take a full army of inferno over ghouls. And that's why I sub to you man
suggestion! maybe add a tier below D thats called "topic" or something where you put the icon in discussion while you talk about it instead of dragging it around in different places. love the videos, cheers :)
Not bad idea! Thnx
For someone who hasn't played WC3 in over 15 years, and even back then mostly played custom maps - this video is very important to me!
Peon impression outstanding, we need more
Grubby farming that tier list content. Good on him
Farm that tier list content I love to listen to it
i remember playing this as a little kid, making a banshee to possess an enemy worker, build an entire base of their race (human i think), i was so disappointed when i couldn't make 3 more heroes :(
Now we need tier lists of othere races' units, snacks to be consumed during gaming and drinks tier list for each race for a proper gaming experience.
I played a lot of hero line wars. Good games back in the day.
Item tier list, lets go baby!
Grubby is True one Happy.... Becouse his energy makes me happy. Thank you for everything you do. Keep this behaviour that makes us smile!
Ohh yeas another Ranking from the Grubmaster 🎉
Cool, I wonder what we should do next, oh I know now rank the campaign
I played this game and i was very bad at it, my favorite one was wyrm, that explains a lot. As i remember, they cost 7 food and you need to upgrade your main building twice to even make them only to get absolutely annihilated by spiders net hahahaha
I remember that my strategy of beating wc3 Champaign was to go 3 meat wagons 6 necromancers and 2 statues, permanent invinite utin production (free - there is no need for a gold mine)
I love these fkn tierlists
this might be the most interesting video I have watched so far this year. I am main Orc, but off-Undead. I lurve Undead. And I hope the ghul gets S-tier.
I look forward to when this series is done, then we can get a tier list that ranks all the Grubby tier lists!
That's the plan!
I expect a tier list of tower/farm buildings and mercenaries.
Maybe I'm crazy but a cool idea for the frost wyrm would be to give it a 0 mana lvl 1 frost armor ability, might be too strong but if taurens can be tier 2 anything is possible. It would solve all the issues you brought up.
1. Survivability ✅
2. Value from only getting 1 ✅
3. Not impactful enough for end game ✅
4. Can't be used outside of close range ✅
Also
5. On theme "cool" ability ✅
Damnit... a sneaky way to remind me to subscribe. GG +1 sub haha
I always wondered why they designed gargoyle to be infinitely better than hippogryph. A night elf spamming hipogryphs can't hit ground units AND they have to make a separate building to make the hippos. Undead can just make them from the crypt and use them to harrass workers and to creep
Yeah the Hippo/Hipporider arc didn't really work out that well
I think (and I might remember wrong here) that Gargs used to be T3 units in Reign of Chaos. Also Magic Damage wasn't a thing and Piercing was effective against Heavy Armor, making Piercing kind of the best damage type in the game, so Hippogryph Riders were probably kind of valuable.
Ofc in the long shot it really is hilarious how bad Hippos are compared to Gargs
On the banshee curse, perhaps there is a 5% miss chance by default, which is boosted by 28% to reach a 33% total miss chance with curse.
Inferno is truly gigachad
These tier lists are making me want to play again after a decade
Frost Wyrms can be used to completely freeze an enemies base. Not that it will ever work, but if you micro you can freeze two buildings at once with a single Wyrm. Still not the best unit but niche usefulness
ABSOLUTELY agree on the frost wyrm. Even tho very cool looking, the fact that you dont see them at 1v1 AT ALL speaks for itself
Would be cool to have a workers tier list. Out of the 4 workers, who is the best and worst?
They all do such different things in warcraft.
Hopefully the 'purchasable items' tier list follows soon 🙂
